Heli-coils work well

tap them the next size bigger, and drill the holes to the top parts bigger to fit the new bolts, why use heli coils when you can use new threads just go gently with lots of cutting oil, and numerous ins and outs. Aluminum builds up fast and is very gummy

A new top triple clamp would work too.
